of machines, buildings, means Of
transportation on u large scale, and
especially of loanable money in sums.
Whatever cannot be hcld III the hand
and defended from the greed of
Others needs for its safe possession the
protection of laws. " here that protcc-
ton is not sufficient, Us for instance
in dcspotic countries. wealth will not
be produced beyond the daily neccs-
sites. Now when the protection of
laws is not administered to the real
workers, but to the casual owners
who may have acquired wealth by in
horltancc, or vested rights, or mon
opolIcs Of any kind, and who lend it
to the needy on interest, or to the
crafty for the sake of accommodating
profit, or to landlords for speculation
in land and houses s-this state pro
lection which those lack who own
little or nothing, amounts to an
inequality of rights and is the very
substance Of injustice. 1t is the
protection of the capitalists and the
landlords in their titles of ownership
which constitutes injustice and
creates inevitably poverty of the
masses. Land is capital just as well
as money and other great means Of
labor, because the title to land is
created by law and protected by law
like all private property.
The only just title to property is
work, and nobody Except the in
nocently and heIpIessly poor) ought
to own property, or ought even to
live, without having earned every
particle of it. This is no less true
of machines, money capital, and, in
short, Of all great means Of produc-
tion, than of land.
And this IS a theoretical principle,
because it cannot be denied. that the
only just title to private property is
work, and that all property not
earned by equivalent work of the
owner is acquired by either lawful or
unlawful robbery. And the practic
al tenet thcrefrom derived is the
necessity of the abolition of all
private property not acquired by c4nl-
valent work.

THE. EXPLANATION.
Socialists Tx communicated on Ac.
count Of their Vigilance.

" Reformer" August Meyer, the
loud-mouthed enemy of the social
lists, last Monday night "let the cat
ont of the bag" when he "organ-
ized'a portion of the Tenth Assembly
District and admitted to the United
Labor Party August p. Wagner, u
prominent ''repubIican politician
who ran for Congress on the "rcpub-
lican" ticket last year, and Mr..
Philip Wasslng, u defeated "repub-
lican" candidate for State Assembly.
These fellows tried to get in when
the socialists were in control but
were black -balled. The reason why
the social SITS were not wanted by the
Georgitcs is now apparent: they We're
too vigilant for the Doodle men.

gard as either enjoyable or amusing, but
which he was willing to own was curious.
He went with q friend to call on a Young
lady who is famous in her particular cir
Gle for her powers of mind-reading, and
the remark with which his introduction
was acknowledged was:
II am very happy to meet you, Mr.. A.:
you will be wiser not TO CO."
de regarded the young woman With a
look OF dazed amazement, and reelected
that as he had mentioned to no living be-
ing the fact that he was considering the
wisdom CT removing to Chicago to en-
gage In business, nobody could have Civ
en- his hostess a hint to speak in this man
ner.
why not!" he stammered; and then
before she could speak he added: 81 am
sure do not know what you mean.n
The lady smiled serenely and motioned
him to chair.
Please be seated" she said. Then
turning again toward Mr.. A. with the air
OF enjoying his bewilderment she went
on: You are so heartily out of conceit
with chicago, and you are so fond of the
east, that you wouldn't stay. You would
only force yourself to hold on until you
were well established, and by that time
you WoUlu nave WO1u out your endurance
and would give up everything to come
back"
"Now I'd said that to myself hundred
times" Mr.. A. commented, in relating the
incident; "but how in the world did she
know? | felt as if my whole backbone
we're creeping up to hide nnder my shirt
collar; and for my part 1 think it was
horribly impertincnt of her to spring that
kind of thing on me the first minute I
set eyes on her. Anyway it was devilish
unpleasant"
He was so overcome by this reception
that he did not recover his self-posssssion
during the entire call.
"And there X. sat-" he further unbur-
dened his soul to me, apparently think
ing it the best joke in the world Heav-
ems! he's going to marry her, and when
he comes home at night she'll tell him
how many glasses of puncs he has drunk
and all about the girl he admired in the
horse-car. Deucsdly pleasant time he'll
have. Fancy living in the house with a
woman who knows what you think as we'll
as you do yourself. Why, I'd rather break
stones on tie street."

GREAT BIRDS FIgRrIEa.
An Extraordinary Scene IN tho Cent

An Extraordinary Scene IN tho Central
Park-A Fierce iight.
A crowd was gathered around the cage
In which the eagles are confined in Cen
trial Park, the other day, watching few
daring English sparTOws that were picking
up the leavings of the eagles dinner. Tho
eagles sat majestic aad silent upon the,
limbs of the make-beleye trees, as though
lost in deep TeVeries. Suddenly vulture
darted like fash of lightning from one
of the upper perches and swoopcd down.
upon one of our own bald heads with
fiendish screams. The bald head ans
wered with screams of terror and hastily
retreated into dark corner of the cage.
The women and children drew back from
the cage in fear, and even the men exhib-
tied desire TO be beyond the reach of Sir
Vulture's sharp taons
The vulture stood silent on the bottom
of the cage for moment, while the other
eagles moved uneasily on their perches.
Then the condor, who had been sitting on
the highest branch OF ali, gave vent to a
shrek almost as deafCn.ng as the wh site
of locomotive, and dropped down upon
the vulturc. In n moment feathers flew
in every direction. All the eagles
screamed in unison, and the little birds in
the other cages crOuched mute and tremb-
ling in the corners. ...
A gray-coatGd park policeman who came
rushing to the cage shouted to keeper
and in moment the man who has charge
of the eagles came running up. He seized
g pail of water from behind the cage, ard,
getting as clio as POSSIBLE to the fighting
birds, he dousCd til nj with it. The effect
was instantaneous The fight was all
| gone out of them, and they crawled away
! to different corners dripping and detected
| The co: dor had had much the best Of the
| fight. He was bleeding in only few
| places, while lis opponent was covered
with the sanguinary fluid.
THE eagles fight very hard omctimes,
| sad the keeper to the reporter. ."Watel
is the only thing that will stop them, md
even that doc5n't always work. If they
are very hot we ssperate them wi h poles
| and then yank them into a tank of water
where we duck them until all the fight i
| gone out of them.
"The condor is the boss of the roCst, arc
none of the others care to dispute hi!
supremacy. The vultures come next al
! fighters, and the bald head is at the tai
end of the list. The yultures can't stant

to take them inside, While the other eGglei
rather ENJOY the cold
